Contained within the 3rd Edition (1957) of the Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the snow cover data, referring primarily to the presence and total depth of a snow cover on the surface of the earth, across Canada. This is in contrast to data characteristics of snow cover depth, which increases...

Over southern Canada maximum snow depth usually occurs in January or February, while the time of maximum accumulation occurs much later in mountain areas and in the Arctic. The main features of the map are the pronounced maximum in snow accumulation over the western Cordillera (British Columbia...

Contained within the 4th Edition (1974) of the Atlas of Canada is a collection of six maps. Each map shows the median depth of snow for December 31st, January 31st, February 28th, March 31st, April 30th and May 31st respectively.

This map shows the average maximum snow depth in centimetres computed over 18 winter seasons (1979 to 1997). Over southern Canada this usually occurs in January or February, while the time of maximum accumulation occurs much later in mountain areas and in the Arctic. The main features of the map...

This airborne or shipborne geophysical survey recorded the following parameters: Total Field Magnetic, Vertical Gradient of TF, Very Low Frequency. The flight line spacing is 300 m for a total of 8180 kilometres. The survey was flown between 1988-07-26 and 1988-08-05. The data were Digitally...

The map shows the location of the snow course stations and the agencies that operate them. Most Canadian snow courses are operated by the federal Department of Fisheries and the Environment and the provincial government departments concerned with water resources. Though the principles of snow...

This airborne or shipborne geophysical survey recorded the following parameters: Total Field Magnetic, Radiometric, Very Low Frequency. The flight line spacing is 500 m. The survey was flown between 1990-06-04 and 1990-07-12. The data were Digitally acquired. Platform: Fixed-wing.

This map shows the median date of snow-cover onset (defined as the first date with 14 consecutive days of snow cover greater than 2 centimetres in depth) computed over 18 winter seasons (1979 to 1997). In areas with permanent or semipermanent snow cover (for example, Arctic ice caps) or in areas...

This map shows the median date of snow-cover loss (defined as the last date with 14 consecutive days of snow cover greater than 2 centimetres in depth) computed over 18 winter seasons (1979 to 1997). In areas with permanent or semipermanent snow cover (for example, Arctic ice caps) or in areas...

The map shows the mean maximum depth of snow in centimetres, the standard deviation of the mean maximum depth of snow, and the mean date of mean maximum depth of snow. The information shown on the map is compiled from 1961 – 1970 snow course data in conjunction with 1955 – 1972 snow depth data....
